Excerpt from Illustrations and Proofs of the Principle of Population: Including an Examination of the Proposed Remedies of Mr. Malthus, and a Reply to the Objections of Mr. Godwin and Others

Mr. Godwin has embodied in his book the objections of the writers alluded to. He has, also, denied the power of the human race to increase its numbers, has insisted that there is more reason to fear a decrease, than to expect an increase of mankind, has, with his friend and associate, Mr. David Booth, conjectured that the human race is wearing out, and has peremptorily denied that the population in this or any other country presses against the means of subsistence. Mr. Malthus has shown, that in almost all the countries of the earth, the population is constantly pressing against the means of subsistence.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the original research of Thomas Malthus and William Godwin, two key figures in the debate over population growth at the turn of the nineteenth century. Godwin argued that Malthus was too pessimistic, and that in fact human progress in easing the burden of a rapidly growing population would outpace the growth itself. However, the author's deep-dive into the Swedish population statistics used by Malthus and Godwin reaches a different conclusion, finding that Malthus was largely correct in his main assumptions. The author also explores the possibilities of the United States, at the time a relatively new nation, to avoid the problems inherent in a rigidly stratified society like Britain. Rich in detail and drawing on a wide array of sources, this book will interest not only scholars, but those seeking to better understand the evolution of economic and social thought.
